Combination Bangkok and Floating Market Tour
Tour(CB1)
About This Tour (CB1)
My most popular tour. Situated to the west of Bangkok in Samut Songkhram, the Maeklong Railway Market is one of the most unusual markets in Thailand. At regular intervals throughout the day, a loud train siren will sound and in a matter of moments, the shop owners will scoop up any stray produce, use long poles to hold up their awnings, and casually make way for the huge passenger train that chugs directly through the market! Once the train has disappeared, the vendors will place their awnings back into position and the market will continue as usual.
Damnoen Saduak floating market is the most popular floating market in Thailand, great for photo opportunities and food. An early morning start is worth it to avoid the heat and catch Damnoen Saduak at its liveliest. Most visitors who come to Thailand want to visit a floating market and many of them will end up here. A trip to the market can be a fascinating insight into Thai’s culture.
Thailand is predominantly a Buddhist country, home to thousands of temples and some of the most famous are in the capital city of Bangkok. Discover three of Bangkok’s finest temples.
Gigantic works of art like the Reclining Buddha and the pagodas aside, Wat Pho is also Thailand's oldest temple and the birthplace of traditional Thai massage. Check out the hermit statues around Wat Pho to see some techniques.
Our last stop is Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn). Walk up Wat Arun's iconic prang (Khmer-style tower) and see the beautiful decorations from up close.
